I wasn't impressed with custard e-juices when I started vaping but I got the taste for VC so I registered on Grants ready to order and see what its supposedly all about. I might be able to appreciate that GVC is very good but I'm not going to lower myself to a first come first serve Black Friday scramble.

I've made 500ml of Kreeds along with a few bottles of fruit variations, I reckon my DIY 30 quids worth will last well beyond my hankering to buy a 'premium' vanilla custard vape. I'm only on the second 30ml and pretty sure my farts are scented with Vanilla and New York Cheesecake already.

Cheers guys, I'll probably add one to the collection, was thinking of a single coil centre build, the posts on the velocity are too high.
Not too worried about wicking to be honest, just looking for an easy build dual post dripper.

I'll try to keep my finger off the 'add to basket button' for another week.

My istick 40 has the same issues with reading a new coil rather infuriating and my D2 seems to run higher joules for the same settings.

Looks like I've bought another pita budget vw/tc mod. Hopefully it actually steps down in power mode so that it doesn't end up going mech on me.

update; with much patience I managed to get a pair of 0.15 coils to read 0.073 , I got one vape and the mod flashed up 'low resistance' followed by 'short'.

Damned Tobecco Mutation X4 has never been good with thin wires as the posts are over-drilled, the wire came off one post cut by the screw I assume the short followed soon after. I won't try it again in that atty and have reverted to a pair of Kanthal claptons.

Full size Velocity clones are running nicely on single 4mm twisted Ni200 coils, plenty of vapour with reasonable flavour but they just seem muted until the last couple of draws before the wick starts to show signs of drying.
 I cracked open the second bottle of Kreeds Kustard ( its three weeks old!!!) and tried from 200c to 250c, best flavour is at 210, but in comparison to letting my trigger finger control the power on a pair of kanthal coils...passable.

On the other hand 0.08 builds in the sub-tanks are rocking, just hit the button and vape pretty much worry free. Good job I bought some Samsung 30Qs last week.

Thanks for the replies.

not the same ones phatfil, I had the $3.13/50 coil packs

everything is visually the same on the set up, don't know what it is because I have fitted each coil, read it, then removed one and come up with 0.15 or 0.20 again...grr.
I'll have another go tomorrow when my patience returns to normal levels.

I've started to play with temperature control and Ni200 coils, firstly I'm not making my own coils ( more later) I added some 0.15 ohm and 0.2 ohm (0.3mm x 3mm x 10 & 12 turn) coils to my last fast tech order. The basis on buying these higher res coils was essentially that I could reduce the number of coils if required to fit in a subtank rba and there would be enough resistance to make dual coil builds.

No problems with the single coil, a 0.15ohm coil reads 0.13-0.15 no problem, the 0.2ohm coil reads spot on but for some reason when I make a dual build in a dripper they read 0.03-0.04 ohms.

Is one of the joys of Ni200 or am I missing something?


2) touching  or micro coils, for some reason the 0.2 coils are micro, unspaced, its not really an issue to open them up but most sources say spaced coils yet here and there the odd preson says that they don't find micro coils a problem...
BTW I've just opened up a couple, twisted them in a drill and made a really nice 0.07 ohm coil for my velocity, if only the mod would read down to 0.03
